grad salaries should be 50-60k at this point and post doc should be 90-100k. right now theyre too low and exploitive. it is just a bad, abusive system right now. companies are now getting in on the post-doc scheme to in order to hire cheap phds with no guarantee of hiring after it is done.

i told my previous employer, of they continue the post doc program (i was the guinea pig) ill quit. the title and salary were terrible. everyone outside my group was horrified and telling me to leave and get a better job it was that bad.
